40 Years of Celebrated Tradition, Safety and Quality
For more than 40 years, Diver’s Paradise has worked closely with PADI to build scuba programs that teach equality, ecology and diver safety — setting high-quality standards for future scuba enthusiasts and instructors.
The dive center is a family-run business owned by son Andrew Jarnryd and his father, Erik.
“We are very proud of our long-term collaboration with PADI,” Andrew said. “We are excited about our future with PADI and making great things happen. Our scuba community is diverse and we love them.”

During 2022, when Diver’s Paradise earned Florida university status, the dive center established Diver’s Paradise Professional Institute, the only state-licensed scuba diving education school in Miami and the surrounding area.
The higher learning curriculum covers the programs and courses that scuba divers need to become certified professionals.
Managing Director Michael Casey cites his well-rounded staff as the catalyst for the scuba center’s long-term success. “It has been 40 years of quality, of dedication, of love for what we do,” he said. “Tradition, trust and loyalty make us stand out above all the rest.”
Diver’s Paradise Managing Director Michael Casey
PADI Course Director and Managing Director Michael Casey has been working with fellow divers since 2008. He has an extensive background in marketing & administrative management, recreational scuba diving, as well as teaching and lecturing in recreational & professional diving courses.
“Diver’s Paradise is here for the recreational diver and for the professional. We are focused on customer service and the best personal experience,” Casey said. “We encourage a confident atmosphere of safety, knowledgeable instructors and staff.”
Michael has conducted instructor training in Florida, Pennsylvania, New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Citing the need for quality professional-level training in the South Florida market, Michael was instrumental in developing the Diver’s Paradise Professional Institute instruction programs and professional accreditation.
The institute has earned official university status from the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) — completing a rigorous application process and developing an FDOE-approved curriculum unlike any other in the industry.
